A Few Tips For Protecting Your Teens On “Prom Night”
By Randy Wyles | May 15, 2008
Ah, May… that special time of year, when your teens are dressing up like real adults (albeit, fashions best suited for bridesmaids and groomsmen) to take part in that annual Spring tradition – The Prom.
But don’t fool yourself – that “tradition” is most often a “right of passage”.
You remember. Think back – Prom Night. Remember? Yep! That’s right, and now your little angel is about to leave her warm, cozy and protected nest to go to the Prom with “what’s his name”.
Now are you worried? You should be. But I may have a few ideas that will ease the tension in your neck and keep you from making that white-knuckle fist when you see “what’s his name” begin to salivate at the sight of your sweet, innocent little girl playing “dress-up” in grown up ladies’ clothes.
First, be direct. You can still be polite (although, who cares at this point, right?). When the boy walks in the door, as your little angel is putting the final touches on her make up for the evening back in her room, just grip his hand like a vice and smile. Then in a low, soft tone look him directly in the eye and say, “I’m so glad you’ll be escorting my daughter tonight. She means the world to her mother and me and I would do anything to protect her. So, I can rest assured that nothing…nothing will happen to her, right?”
At this point, casually lead him over to your collection of firearms in the gun case and show him your favorite weapon, making sure to point out its stopping power.
“I find the Glock Model G36 Compact .45 ACP with a Single Stack Magazine, like the one I’m holding here, (pull back the slide and let it slam shut for full psychological effect) performs most effectively, especially when using 230-grain Hydra-Shok rounds. Traveling at 900 feet per second, it’s just a bit slower than say, my 9mm, but, WOW! What stopping power…unbelievable. It’ll drop a full grown man…like one your size…dead in his tracks.” Be sure to chuckle so he thinks you’re really crazy enough to pull the trigger.
Then, just before your little angel makes her grand entrance, tell him you’ll need to make a photocopy of his driver’s license…just to have on file. I usually let them know that, as a private investigator, I’ll be running a background check on them when they leave – just routine, ya’ know – and if it’s clear then there won’t be any problems.
Finally, look at them both and say, “No drugs. No drinking. And no sex. Got it? Now, you two have a nice time.”
She’ll be embarrassed that you were so brazen. He’ll just be in shock. And the likelihood of them sneaking off somewhere to have sex will drop dramatically…because all he’ll be able to think about is that Glock and your cold as steel eyes.
Do you think I’m joking? Not hardly. Nothing is more precious than that little girl who is suddenly all grown up – or so she thinks.
